Patient Reviews

I have had my share of orthopedic surgeries.....13 to be exact. Dr. Hartman is by far the most skilled and precise surgeon I have experienced to date. I am thrilled with my lack of discomfort post-op, my recovery, and my scar (what scar?). I will be shouting his praises to everyone who will listen. ...

“I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Hartman. From start to finish, my experience with him and his team was exceptional. Dr. Hartman is an incredibly skilled orthopedic surgeon, and his expertise and professionalism gave me full confidence in my shoulder surgery.

Best doctor ever. Dr Hartman performed shoulder surgery on me, and he was so thorough.

Dr. Hartman, Thanks again for replacing my shoulder and getting me back on the water – ski, surf, and stand up paddle! Arthur
